Day 213 - The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that the podcast is about 2 months behind real-time and we’ve just finished May. I hate to say it because I committed to you and myself at the beginning of the year that I would post daily blogs, but life, well life, and cruising are just getting in the way. Recording daily worked whilst in lockdown but I’m really struggling to find the time and effort. Let me elaborate regarding “effort”. It’s not that I don’t enjoy doing them, of course, I do why would you/I do something you/I’m not enjoying. It’s not that Willow and I have stopped walking because clearing that demanding young lady, as all dogs do require commitment, effort, and walking. As you know we are now back out cruising and as such, I’ve gone back to vlogging which for me is super time-consuming, you’ll know this if you’ve watched any of our videos. Also, and probably reflecting the main reason is we lost Eva in June. Dave and I are truly heartbroken but Willow is totally lost, sad and upset she has never been without Eva and I don’t think she understands. The walks are very different now. We go we walk we come home it’s as simple as that. Both Willow and myself have withdrawn into ourselves. I don’t feel funny and the last thing I would ever want is too laden you with our sadness day in day out. The loss of Eva had left complete devastation behind. It’s something we are all working through and it’s only now some two months later I feel able to tell you. But please DON'T say the words; don’t offer kindness and condolences because that’s the reason it wasn’t mentioned earlier. It’s enough to know you’re thinking them and want to say them but if you do that will just break me and I am barely holding it together as is. As such whilst we still walk, I don’t do the daily blog post and I’ve kind of lost my mojo, it’s all very sad and we’re all sulking. I have to say even though I’m out of sorts and a bit down I'm so very appreciative that you have continued to check in to see how Willow and I are progressing with the walking. All be it that sometimes they contained very little walking indeed. ***** This is a full audible version but A FULL WRITTEN VERSION is on our website. ***** If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please leave us a five-star rating or review and share it with those you feel would also enjoy them.
